i see you everyday 
but you just walk on by 
its like fireworks explode inside 
just some simple words that i wanna say 
when i get close i hesitate 
time and time i search to find 
that opening cliche 

[CHORUS]
if you could only read my mind 
you'd see that i am struggling 
line by line 
i wrote it down a million times 
but i just cant seem to get it right 

[verse 2]
why does my confidence 
play tricks on me 
it shuts me up so i cant speak 
out of necessity i have to prove 
that my telepathy 
can get through to you 
why 
does it have to be that the words get in the way 

[CHORUS]

if you only knew 
that i wrote it all for you 

if you could read my mind 
you'd see that i am struggling 
line by line 
i wrote it down a million times 
but i just cant seem to get it right 
[REPEAT]

no i just cant seem te get it right...
